Common calls from buildings
- Water stain on a ceiling with three possible suites above it.
- Kitchen stack backing up into a lower suite.
- Seized riser valves that will not isolate a floor.
- Hot water slow to arrive because a recirculation pump has failed.
- Low pressure on upper floors when a booster pump is struggling.
How we trace a leak through floors
- Start at the stain and read moisture with a meter across the ceiling.
- Check the suite directly above: toilet base, tub overflow, dishwasher and washer box.
- Run each fixture in turn while someone watches the ceiling below.
- Open only the drywall needed once the source is confirmed.
Working with residents
- Notices posted for any planned shut-off, with the time window.
- Shut-offs kept to the smallest zone the valves allow.
- Suites left clean, with any opened drywall marked for patching.
Riser valves in older buildings often sit untouched for a decade or longer. We cycle each one, label it so the next leak can be isolated quickly.
Aurora customers often ask
Who pays for a leak between suites?
That depends on the condo declaration and insurance. We give the board or manager a clear note of the source so they can sort it out.
Can you replace riser valves without draining the building?
Sometimes a single riser can be isolated and drained. We will look at the valve layout before planning the work.
